Property tax exemption reduction.
HB 124 would have reduced property tax exemptions for single-family homeowners in Wyoming by lowering the percentage used to calculate the exemption from 4% to 2% of the prior year's assessed value. This change would apply to both the home structure and associated land, resulting in a smaller tax break for qualifying homeowners as their exemption amount would decrease. The bill, which failed to pass in the Wyoming House of Representatives on February 10, 2026, was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026. It directly affects residential property owners who currently qualify for this exemption under Wyoming law.
